When new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized. 4. When occupational injuries and illness occur. 5. When we hire and /or reassign permanent or intermittent workers to process, operations, or tasks for which a hazard evaluation has not been previously conducted. 6. Whenever workplace conditions warrant an inspection.
Four Week Look-ahead Risk Mitigation Planning
Potentially hazardous activities will be identified within four-week look-ahead programs and risk mitigation strategies discussed at monthly progress meetings. The risk mitigation form will work to identify practically hazardous activities.
